So how do you all do it?! How long do you typically have to store your bike?

BTW - not trying to make this a bragging thread...just asking how you don't go crazy!

I'm with ya... there's no WAY I could handle that.. not just the whole taking a vacation from riding, but the COLD.. no way, no how!

Well keep yourself occupied with MC related projects...

Take a perfectly good bike


Strip it all down including the powder on the frame


Then get it back together with some of the hottest parts on the market, along with some of your very own created custom parts.

Well close to together.



Yeah that's how I roll. Take a stupid expensive bike and put enough money into it to buy 2 more normal bikes.

Hellova project!! Bravo!

I moved to Texas in 2002 from Minnesota... there is no way in hell I'd move back. I'd rather sweat than freeze anyday. Though, now I'm a wuss and don't like weather under 60.
